UNC head coach Roy Williams won his 800th college basketball game on Monday night with an 85-68 triumph over Syracuse. Williams likely received a high number of congratulatory gestures – reaching 800 wins is a special milestone – but perhaps none were more noteworthy than Michael Jordan’s.

Jordan attended last year’s national championship game against Villanova, and his North Carolina ties are clearly strong. Congratulations to Coach Williams on the feat.

Joe Boozell has been a college basketball writer for NCAA.com since 2015. His work has also appeared in Bleacher Report, FOXSports.com and NBA.com. Joe’s claim to fame since joining NCAA.com: he’s predicted the correct national championship game twice… and picked the wrong winner both times. Growing up, Joe squared off against both Anthony Davis and Frank Kaminsky in the Chicagoland basketball scene. You can imagine how that went.
